Eccentric Plug Valve - Series 601

Elastomer Selection

Elastomers available for Millcentric Valve Neoprene

Natural rubber is also available.
Nitrile
A general purpose material sometimes referred to as BUNA-N
with a –20°C to 100°C temperature range. Used on sewage,
water, hydrocarbon and mineral oils.
EPDM
An excellent polymer for use on chilled water through to LP
steam applications having a temperature range of –35°C
to 90°C. Resistance to many acids, alkalies, detergents,
phosphate esters, alcohols and glycols is an added benefit.
This versatile material shows outstanding resistance to
abrasion and ozone. Chemical resistance to a wide range
of petroleum base products and dilute acids and alkalies.
Temperature range –20°C to 100°C.
Fluoroelastomer
Retention of mechanical properties at high temperature is
an important feature of this elastomer: temperature range
is –5°C to 145°C. It also has excellent resistance to oils,
fuels, lubricants and most mineral acids and aromatic
hydrocarbons. Note: Not for water or steam applications.
